Cracked PCV Valve threading..

[rivet0r]

Well I was changing my injectors, and I unscrewed the pvc valve for convenience, and it cracked the valve cover threading off. Right now i'm waiting for the JB Weld to dry, but I don't think this will work properly. Anyways, is it possible to have my car running until I get another valve cover?

Ok when you mean cracked threading..do you mean stripped threading cuz if so you can just retap it..and buying a tap would be cheaper then a new valve cover...

yea i agree 100% but if you realy cracked it..... umm hmm...just and idea that just hit me i duno if you could do it... but if you know someone that has a tig welder, think you could weld the exterior and it be fine?

I cracked a piece off the top and just JB Welded it on. It has been working fine for 6 months. Just try it and see if it works, otherwise you'll have to buy a new one.

Yea, It's kind of hard to explain. But a piece cracked off, and has part of the threading on the piece itself. Meaning not all the threading is left on the valve cover cause it cracked off. The JB Weld is drying right now, but I don't know how well it's going to work, seeing as how the threading probly won't match up correctly. Thanks for the help though.
